Boil the spaghetti. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small non-stick pan, add the garlic and fry, stirring all the time, until golden. Add the chili, tomatoes and capers and fry for a further 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

Add 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to the tomatoes, then drain the pasta and return to the pan. Pour in the tomato sauce and toss everything together well. Serve as it is or sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan.

That my friend is the good stuff right there. I don't know what it is about capers and tomato sauce, but it is hard to beat! Beautiful photo of it too! So real - looks like I could just grab a forkful!

You are so right. While I do enjoy spending hours in the kitchen cooking up an elaborate meal when I have the time and inclination, sometimes there is nothing better than a simple, but satisfying pasta dish such as this.

You need a simple but full flavored dish like this Valli as you have been very busy the past few days! Your cake for the challenge is beautiful! And how fun was the fund raiser event! Looks like they had some nice wines and definately some nice looking food going on there!

You're so right Val. We have so many nice, simple, everyday recipes. You've inspired me to post the simple dishes without too much bla, bla on the days I have a busy schedule. Thanks for this great idea. Your pasta is making me drool.

Capers I found on Kea.Me too Kimi!!!So right Simona. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best!!I find a nice flavourful Pasta to be so satisfying Lisa!Better convert them over to the dark side Glamah!Life is always busy Deb, but it is nice not to slave in the kitchen sometimes and enjoy other pleasures:DI have something else planned for PPN Giz and Hillary.Hope you enjoy it "sis" Ivy!!!Thanks for stopping by Peter G and Recipe Girl:D

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
